THE HUMOURS OF ANNAPOLIS.

There is a lieutenant attached to the a.
cademy at Annapolis as officer. in charge,
whose duty it is to inspect the cadets
rooms every morning. The lieutenant is.
very absent minded, and on one occasion he
brought his abSentlninded ness into requi-
SitiOn, much to the amusement of d cadet.
While ON 4is tour of inspection one nora.
ing, he found an unauthorized article
hanging on the wall in one 0f the rooms.
What is that doing on the walls he
asked. tsTlle wall has been there all the
time, sir,n replied the cadet. Turning tor
the master-at-arms, he asked whether that
wall had been there before. The ast0nish-
ed nun replied that it had, and the lieJte-
nant walked out satisfied with the inspec-.
ton. Passing on to the next room there
was q catlet visiting contrary to regulations,
The. cadet hal time before the officer en-
tered to get behind the wardrobe door,
but his feet we're in sight beneath the
door. After looking around the room the
officer espied the shoes and reproved the;
cadet who lived in The room for allowing
his shoes to be out of the pspper place,
which was under the f09t Of his bed, and
he walked out, feeling that hdAhad con
scientionsly performed his official duty.
The cadets at AnaapoIis are reqpirea to
keep tire floor of their rQWn aleanly swept.
One Sunday morning the commandant
was making an Inspection of the quarters.
Entering one reom he saw that the floor
was not very clean and spoke to the cadet
about It. The cadet replied bl1at the floor
had been swept that mornings The COM
mandant was dressed. in. q clean white
suit, and to show that il was. really dusty
sat DOWN on the floor, AID getting up ff8:

THE NATIONAL CAT SHOW.

All lovers of ats and students OF the
sleek. sleepy, purring ways of high-bred
felines would do well to pay ~ visit to-day
to the Nineteenth National Cat Show Mt
the CRYSTAL Palace. Cat-culture has been
rapidlp developing into q fine art, anu IN
the especial matter of PerSianS we are in a
fair way to rival that traditional con-
noisseur in catS-the Parisiaa concierge.
At the show are to I've seen all manner OF
cats, shorthaired, long.haired tortoiseslIells,
varieties of the brown, blue, red silver and
spotted tabby, pure blacks and whites,
Chincllillas, and Manxes, in oil 40 entries.
There are SO classes, and the various divi-
sions are remarkably we'll represented.
Yesterday tile judges, Mr.. Harrison Weir,
Mr.4J Jenner Weir, and Mr.. George Billet,
made a long and searching inspection OF
the pussips, aud awarded the prizes, IN;
Guiding the sixteen extra special prizes
presented by the CRYSTAL Palace Company

sides many money prizes, were offered Tor

UNCLE SANS FIRST CASH BOX.

There Is some talk of the destruction Of
another historic landmark in Washington
1t is a small, old fashioned brick house on
PENNSYLVANIA avenue, near the Treasury
department, which Was once occupied by
the Office of tile Treasurer of the United
States. The government was not much
troubled with u surplus in tho 10 days,
and the funds on hand were kept in ~
little vault, which waS opened with q big
key. This key the treasurer kept in his
own possession. One night he carried it
to his home in the country, ande owing to
some circumstance he failed to put in an
appearance at his Office the following day.
The road to Canada was a long one in
those days, and besides. the treasurer's
honesty was unquesti0nea; nevertheless
the United States was obliged to suspend
payments for that day because the key was
not at hand and the vault could not be
Opened.-MGnchester Saturday Herald.

A SNAKE DETER.

The subject of Sn axe pOiSons ami poison
antidotes having been brought before the
public recently IN the pages OF Itmehrt ahd
the West Indian Quarterly it was with no
ordinary pleasure we received a visit rom
IL gentleman from Snrinam. who hbd Octil
inOcnlaied with an antId0tal substance
and who. as he assured us, was in c0nSe
Quence. in the position TO defy all the
VenOnOuS creatures Of the earth to poison
him or even to send their teeth or their
darts below his skin. He was very enthu.
siaStic over the merits OF the ahtlto'e, a
small vial of which he had with him, amt
assured us that lie was ready 10 give Il
public exhibition of the complete pre-
tectiOn he enjoyed: he would handle Sc0r.
piQns, c~entipedes, and snakes OF amy de,
scripti0n; rattle.snakes, latarries ana
bushmaSterS having no terror for him.
The incubation had been performed on
him by a man in Sufinam, who alone pos.
sesses the secret of the antidOte, and who
is willing to sell the recipe to the Dutch
or any other Government in return for a
consideration commensurate with the value
to mankind of the secret he has discover
ed. The modus operandi of the inocnla-
ton was of the simplest description. His
wrist was punctured in two places, app.
into the small open wounds the inOculatlng
powder was ribbed. Hsshowed us the marks,
two little spots, not much larger than u
pin.head. He also said that on the day
the incubation was performed, he had to
drink a small quantity of the powder mix
ed with water. Seeing how enthusiastic
Mr.. Gappa,ose the wAssat one time sta
toned in Water Street, where he is. still
well known) was over the merits of the
antidote, and how eager to show the pub
lie how he could ttrile with snakes. we
vOlunteeredsin the interests of popular sci
ence to arrange the preliiniiraries ola pub
licexperiment and to get o supnlyfof full
grown able, bodied reptiles, with fangs in
thorough working order, keen, and charg.

Surinam antidote should be subjectedsto q
worthy test. Mr.. Cdppadose was highly
pleased at the prospect, ami said that by
way of a simple. experiment be had hand

the store Of Messrs., Conrad & Co., IN the

rhe s,,,,ar factory Of PIN. Wales, West

The sugar factory of PIN. Wales, West
Bank, Demerara,n the property OF Mr.
Mayors, vas ftotally destroyed BY IRE on
Sunday night last. On, the morning OF
the same day i large logic stored full Of
megass was found to be on fire, aud need q
Seast to- say, that it was found impossible to
~Gitinguish the flames. All that the peo7
ph could dc, was to try and prevent the
IRE spreading to the factory, and in this
they thought they had succeeded ; but I'M
fortunately it was not so. Aboutoten
O'Clock at night the roof Of the factory
a high building, with shinglel roof-was
fonnd:o be. on fire. and although the Ia
bogrefS worked cheerfully to getit under,
all their sefforts proved fruitless, THIS
accident happening inst at the beginning
of the lengthy grinding spelI of the year,

accompanied by Mr.. Green, 6ookkeeper in
Messrs. Conrad &sCo.'s store, aud bring
ing with him Il. q bottle o lively-10oking
centlpede about eight inches long, caught
in the above.named firms store, which
is evidently a splendid place for rearing
this kind of stock. Mr.. Cappadose shook
the n0xiOus insect out of the bottle into
his hand, around which it squirnad, appat
rently very excited, in and out amongst
his fingers, but neglecting it's first duty to
man-to sting him. Knowing something
about centipedes, having been stung on
five occasions, we took care to see that the
insects weapons of attack had not been
shipped off TO render him harmless; buI
the two wicked looking prongs wore there,
hard and glittering, ready for defence or
attack; and yet in this position OF great
provocation TO the centipede, its prongs
were left inactive. Mr.. C~appaduse put
the insect back into the bottle, and, de,
lighted with the successful result of the ex.
pertinent, expressed his burning desire to
give u public exhibition with snakes lie
knew they could not poison him; and
more,-he knew that, like the centlpede,
they could not pierce his skin. Here, we
asked him to give the centiptde one more
opportunity to try its strength against the
antidote, and he again shD0k the insect,
it looked more initiated than ever, out OF
the bottle. 1t had hardly aligated on Mr..
CappalOSe'S hand before it drove it's
prongs into one of his fingers, leaving two
bloOd-stained spots, and running our falth
in the antidote us u preventative against
bites. But the wound in this case was not
attended with the symptoms ordinarily seen
in a centipede wound. There was hardly
amy inflammation around the punctures;
Just a little increase of colour, but no
swelling, and-as Mr.. C%appadose strong.
ly declared-no pain. We asked him If he
Was still inclined to undertake the public
exhibition with snakes, and he said h9
was still quite as eager to beSS mlnklnd
with a share of the useful knowledge he
possessed. AS the centipede had stung
him, we had not the slightest doubt that
Il snake would he at least as able to use It's
fangs upon him; but, wishing to advance
Mr.. CappldDSo'S philanthrOpic intentions,
we still arranged TO get asupply OF snakes,
and having now succeeded III this, We are
only waiting to hear from Mr.. Cappadose,
to make public announcement OF the exhi-
bition. 1t has been mentioned to lis that
since the centipede experiment, MI.
C~appadose has decidel that the public
must be satisfied to accept the merits OF
the D%ulchman's antidOte without ocular
demonstration; but until Mr.. Oappadose
tells lis that, we shall refuse to believe it.
Ia the meantime we have the snakes ready
tor him within half a days notice-I6td.
